In White family's study room, the atmosphere is somewhat dignified. 怀特家族的书房中,气氛有些凝重。 Colin and scholar Dawn sit facing each other, has not spoken. 柯林与道恩学士相对而坐,都没有说话。 Only hears the slight sound that the candle combustion exudes. 只听到蜡烛燃烧发出的轻微响声。 After long time, scholar Dawn opened the mouth to break this somewhat awkward dreariness: 半晌后,还是道恩学士开口打破了这份有些尴尬的沉寂: „Viscount Sir, I am without any malicious intent to the northern boundary. Moreover, Duke St. Hilde also was very initially clear, I am the imperial family send the northern boundary, but he also still trusts me.” “子爵大人,我对北境没有恶意。而且,当初圣希尔德公爵也很清楚,我是皇室派去北境的,但他对我也依然信任有加。” Colin believes what scholar Dawn said is the truth. 柯林相信道恩学士说的是实话。 After all scholar Dawn has not hidden own identity from beginning to end, his itself/Ben is White family's second son, but White family, St. Lawrence Family to seal/confer official. 毕竟道恩学士从头到尾就没有隐藏自己的身份,他本就是怀特家族的次子,而怀特家族,也正是圣洛伦佐家族的封臣。 Therefore, when his running whereabouts Duke St. Hilde gives loyalty , the discretion and ability that by Duke St. Hilde, had definitely found out the ins and outs of scholar Dawn, will otherwise not think highly of like that. 所以,当他跑去向圣希尔德公爵效忠的时候,以圣希尔德公爵的谨慎和能力,肯定早就将道恩学士的老底摸清楚了,否则也不会那般器重。 „Why do you want to go to the northern boundary?” Colin asked in the heart doubts until now. “那你为什么要去北境？”柯林问出了心中一直以来的疑惑。 Properly speaking, scholar Dawn should for own family's Enfeoffed nobles St. Lawrence Family the potency, rather than runs to go to the northern boundary, was possibly suspected. 按理说,道恩学士更应该为自己家族的封君-圣洛伦佐家族效力,而不是跑去北境,遭受可能的猜忌。 „Perhaps you do not know, the St. Hilde family and St. Lawrence Family until now in the issue of resistance church, are with drawing back ally.” “您或许不知道,圣希尔德家族和圣洛伦佐家族一直以来在对抗教会的问题上,是同进同退的盟友。” „?” In Colin heart moves slightly, suddenly thought 300 years ago that empire great changes. “哦？”柯林心中微动,忽然想到了三百年前的那次帝国巨变。 scholar Dawn continues to explain: „Duke St. Hilde dies too suddenly, without informs his successor with enough time, therefore, Miss Vera is not clear about this matter, but if you inquired Marquis Garcia, he will surely give you an affirmative answer.” 道恩学士继续解释道:“圣希尔德公爵死得太突然,没来得及告知其继承人,所以,就连薇拉小姐也不清楚这件事,但如果您去询问加西亚侯爵,他一定会给您一个肯定的答复。” „Which influences does the alliance of your resistance church mainly have?” “你们这个对抗教会的联盟主要有哪些势力？” „Most importantly, actually on two big influences- red flame leads with the northern boundary.” “最重要的,其实就两大势力-绯焰领和北境。” In Colin heart one startled, the body leans forward, asked slightly: „Are other three boundaries the influences of church?” 柯林心中一惊,身体微微前倾,问道:“难道其余三境都是教会的势力？” „It is not.” scholar Dawn shakes the head saying that „, only then east the boundary is the hardcore church influence, you are also clear, east almost every boundary duke will get married a pastor is a wife, they teach in the supporter of common custom most powerful. “不是。”道恩学士摇头道,“只有东境是铁杆的教会势力,想必您也清楚,几乎每一任东境公爵都会迎娶一位牧师为妻,他们是教会在世俗界最强力的支持者。 The south boundary is always maintaining the neutrality, is not partial to the church, is maintaining certain distance with the imperial family, moreover in recent years, the independent trend is getting more and more obvious, later will have anything...... not to say. 南境一直以来都保持着中立,既不偏向教会,也跟皇室保持着一定的距离,而且近些年来,独立的趋势越来越明显,以后会发生什么……不好说。 As for the west boundary, because they are facing the empire most dangerous enemies- beast clan, the hope has obtained the military assistance, therefore, their strategies blow hot and cold, what are more is with this excuse, demands the support to the imperial family or the church, is not a reliable ally. 至于西境,由于他们面对着帝国最危险的敌人-兽族,一直渴望得到军事援助,所以,他们的策略摇摆不定,更多的是以此为借口,向皇室或者教会索取支援,并不是一个可靠的盟友。 Moreover, because west this generation the reason of boundary duke, what they are more is the deviation church. ” 而且,由于这一代西境公爵的缘故,他们更多的是偏向教会。” „Why?” Colin has doubts to say suddenly, „words that I have not remembered incorrectly, this generation of western boundary dukes is a Saint knight.” “为什么？”柯林忽然疑惑道,“我没有记错的话,这一代的西境公爵是一位圣骑士吧。” „Right. The brilliance empire has two being alive Saint knights, respectively is Prince Reich and Duke of St.Gillian.” scholar Dawn the vision flashes, suddenly asked a as if unrelated issue, „viscount Sir, you have thought that why Prince Reich and didn't the emperor cope?” “没错。光辉帝国有两位在世的圣骑士,分别是莱希亲王和圣格里安公爵。”道恩学士目光闪动,忽然问了一个似乎不相干的问题,“子爵大人,您有没有想过,为什么莱希亲王和皇帝陛下一直不对付？” Colin this/Ben wants saying that this is not natural, whom is the emperor, to one, regardless of the prestige or the military force Prince above oneself have to dread. 柯林本想说,这不是理所当然的嘛,任谁当皇帝,都会对一个无论威望还是武力都在自己之上的亲王心生忌惮。 But immediately, he thinks of today's Saint brilliant church, Empress Midella proposed at that time must solve digs the Consul Lethem remains the time, the opposition is most vigorous, unexpectedly is not Prince Reich, but is Pope Griga! 但随即,他就想到了今日圣光大教堂的那一幕,当时弥黛拉皇后提出要解刨莱托姆执政官遗体的时候,反对最为强烈的,居然不是莱希亲王,而是教皇格里高瑞！ „Is it possible that Prince Reich is intimate with the church?” “莫非莱希亲王是亲近教会的？” „Right!” scholar Dawn nods saying that „, therefore you should understand why the emperor must expel Prince Reich. Some Prince Reich in Royal Dragon City, a that St. Lawrence department are unable to form the joint effort, the alliance of this resistance church will survive in name only.” “没错！”道恩学士点头道,“所以您应该明白,为什么皇帝陛下一定要驱逐莱希亲王了吧。有莱希亲王在御龙城,那圣洛伦佐一系就无法形成合力,这个对抗教会的联盟就会名存实亡。” Colin has doubts later: „Prince Reich as the St. Lawrence Family protector, why will be intimate with the church? But what relations are this partial to the church to have with the west boundary duke?” 柯林随后又疑惑起来:“莱希亲王身为圣洛伦佐家族的守护者,为什么会亲近教会？而这又跟西境公爵偏向教会有什么关系？” scholar Dawn deeply inspires, congealing sound said: „Viscount Sir, actually all Saint knights, can be partial to the church!” 道恩学士深吸一口气,凝声道:“子爵大人,其实所有的圣骑士,都会偏向教会！” „Why?” In Colin heart one cold, realized that perhaps this is the key of issue is. “为什么？”柯林心中一凛,意识到这恐怕就是问题的关键所在。 „Because Saint knight, once is injured, must be able to restore with the aid of the healing technique of high rank pastor. But this, is the key tool of church control person clan highest-order strength!” “因为圣骑士一旦受伤,必须借助高阶牧师的治疗术才能恢复。而这,就是教会控制人族最高阶战力的关键手段！” Colin thinks suddenly that in Winterfell City Bishop that the beginning of this year dies a violent death suddenly, asked: „That initially Duke St. Hilde when fought injured after Troll Saint Warrior......” 柯林忽然想到了那位在今年年初的时候突然暴毙的凛冬城主教,问道:“那当初圣希尔德公爵在跟巨魔圣武士交手受伤后……” „ After duke Sir is injured, found Kean Bishop and big Bishop, hopes that can be treated and cured, but big Bishop actually seizes the chance to coerce duke Sir, wants to make the northern boundary reverse to a church side. “公爵大人受伤后就找到了吉恩主教和瑞文大主教,希望能够得到救治,但瑞文大主教却趁机要挟公爵大人,想借此让北境倒向教会一方。 However, duke Sir is actually not willing to be taught to coerce, forces big Bishop to use the healing technique for oneself forcefully, after the opposite party does not comply, duke Sir then intended to kill Kean Bishop outrageously, big Bishop then submitted. ” 不过,公爵大人却不愿被教会要挟,强行逼迫瑞文大主教为自己施展治疗术,对方不答应后,公爵大人便悍然出手杀死了吉恩主教,瑞文大主教这才屈服。” Colin slightly one startled, sighed Duke St. Hilde to start really to be ruthless secretly. 柯林微微一惊,暗叹圣希尔德公爵下手还真的是狠啊。 „Big Bishop was taught to remove from office afterward , because of this matter?” “那瑞文大主教后来被教会撤职,是不是就是因为这件事？” „ Yes. The church after knowing duke Sir promotes the Saint knight, then has been doing everything possible to win over the northern boundary, but duke Sir has not actually submitted immediately, he does not want to become the puppet in church. “是的。教会在知道公爵大人晋升圣骑士之后,便一直在想方设法拉拢北境,但公爵大人却并没有立刻屈服,他不想成为教会的傀儡。 Actually the injury of duke Sir is very serious, only big Bishop one time treats depending on radically insufficiently, therefore, although duke Sir has not reversed to the church, but the emperor such as the past has no longer trusted oneself ally like that. 其实公爵大人的伤势很严重,仅凭瑞文大主教的一次施治根本不够,也正是因此,虽然公爵大人还未倒向教会,但皇帝已经不再如以往那般信任自己的盟友了。 He worried that Duke St. Hilde will reverse to the church sooner or later, because duke Sir not possible ignores own injury deteriorates day after day, but does not manage. ” 他担心圣希尔德公爵迟早会倒向教会,因为公爵大人不可能放任自己的伤势日渐恶化而不管。” Colin nods, this understands why initially the emperor must tolerate Mr. Wizard to confuse the northern boundary, even tacitly consented that the opposite party killed own uncle elder brother with „Eye of Judgement”. 柯林点点头,这才明白当初皇帝为什么要纵容觋先生搅乱北境,甚至默许对方用“审判之眼”杀死自己的大舅哥了。 If east, western and northern three boundaries all reverse to the church, how the dignity of that imperial family does maintain? 如果东、西、北三境全都倒向教会,那皇室的威严如何维持？ The church will really become the brilliance empire in fact to control. 教会就真的会成为光辉帝国实际上的主宰了。 Colin heart is serious, somewhat said disheartenedly: „If the Saint knight will reverse to the church, I felt, imperial family fears no odds of success......” 柯林心头沉重,有些丧气地说道:“如果圣骑士都会倒向教会,那我觉得,皇室的恐怕没什么胜算呀……” scholar Dawn actually shakes the head saying: „Viscount Sir, you thinks that may be wrong.” 道恩学士却摇头道:“子爵大人,您这么想可就错了。” „? Why?” “哦？为什么？” „ Saint knight is proud existence, how to be resigned to be taught with this method control to force? “圣骑士是何等骄傲的存在,怎么会甘心被教会用这种手段操控胁迫？ Duke St. Hilde received that heavy wound, even if were suspected by the emperor, was forced by big Bishop, but has not reversed to the church until death. 圣希尔德公爵受了那么重的伤,哪怕被皇帝猜忌,被大主教胁迫,但也至死没有倒向教会。 If Prince Reich is not because comes the St. Lawrence Family collateral branch, since childhood then unvalued, overwhelming majority cultivation resources are the church subsidize, he will not be resigned to to become the goon in church. 莱希亲王如果不是因为出身圣洛伦佐家族旁系,从小便不受重视,绝大部分修炼资源都是教会资助的,他也不会甘心成为教会的打手。 As for Duke of St.Gillian of west boundary , he because needs facing coming from the threat of Orc, frequently injured, without the healing technique of church, he could not insist that was so long, therefore, he is partial to the church at present is really has no alternative. 至于西境的圣格里安公爵,他由于需要面对来自兽人的威胁,经常受伤,如果没有教会的治疗术,他根本坚持不了这么久,所以,他目前偏向教会实属无可奈何。 But I believe that if the imperial family and church have no consideration for face, Prince Reich and Duke of St.Gillian big probability will not lend a hand to help teach! ” 但我相信,如果皇室和教会撕破脸,莱希亲王和圣格里安公爵大概率不会出手帮助教会！” Colin thinks, felt Dawn said is very reasonable. 柯林想了想,觉得道恩说的很有道理。 No Saint knight is willing to be taught to force, even if in the surface submits to the church, will not obey sincerely. 没有哪一位圣骑士愿意被教会胁迫,就算表面上屈服于教会,也不会诚心顺服。 Sees Colin to be lost in thought that scholar Dawn also asked: „Viscount Sir, you know how many years founding emperor in brilliance empire Garner your majesty is leaves the world?” 见柯林陷入沉思,道恩学士又问道:“子爵大人,您知道光辉帝国的开国皇帝加纳陛下是多少岁离世的吗？” „Un...... I only remember he leaves the world probably is very young.” “嗯……我只记得他离世的时候好像挺年轻的。” „Right. Garner your majesty 57 years old then untimely death!” “没错。加纳陛下五十七岁便英年早逝！” Colin realizes immediately, has the issue. 柯林立刻意识到,这其中有问题。 How a legendary Saint knight will have left the world. 一位传奇圣骑士怎么会这么早就离世。 „Is it possible that is the reason of church?” “莫非,是教会的缘故？” „ Yes. Garner your majesty goes on an expedition the life, even the strength is outstanding, will still be injured unavoidably. When the imperial family and church relations are harmonious, this naturally is not the issue. “是的。加纳陛下征战一生,即便实力超群,也难免会受伤。在皇室与教会关系融洽的时候,这当然不是问题。 But afterward, when Garner your majesty starts to intend to limit the influence of church, the Pope then also prohibits strictly the pastors immediately to your majesty, the Saint knights who and even are not willing to cooperate use the healing technique. 但后来,当加纳陛下开始有意限制教会的势力时,教皇便也立刻严令禁止牧师们给陛下,乃至不愿合作的圣骑士们施展治疗术。 This also caused Garner your majesty injury to deteriorate, even so, Garner your majesty has not submitted to the church until death. 这也导致了加纳陛下的伤势恶化,但即便如此,加纳陛下至死也没有向教会屈服。 Therefore, actually this is one be continuous until now the dark war from the founding of the nation, the imperial family hopes that the church only becomes a spiritual symbol, not the reserved army, does not mix the secular government affairs. 所以,其实这是一场从建国之初绵延至今的暗战,皇室希望教会只成为一种精神象征,不保留军队,不掺和世俗政务。 But obviously, the church does not satisfy this. They want to become the uncrowned king in empire, wants to let the emperor and aristocrat becomes being a go-between puppets in their hand. 但显然,教会并不满足于此。他们想要成为帝国的无冕之王,想让皇帝和贵族成为他们手中的牵线木偶。 Therefore, this confrontation will also continue. 所以,这场交锋还将继续下去。 But the northern boundary, is the key that both sides compete for at present! 而北境,就是双方目前争夺的关键！ Moreover, perhaps you had not realized, has beaten you of eastern boundary Pegasus regiment, is the imperial family vigorously the object who wants to win over. ” 而且,您或许没有意识到,击败过东境天马军团的您,也是皇室极力想要拉拢的对象。” Colin nods, this understands why today on carriage, the emperor will let the imperial prince and princess requests him to be the master. 柯林点点头,这才明白为什么今天在马车上,皇帝会让皇子和公主拜他为师了。 This is the preparation makes him an sharp sword in imperial family hand, leading the northern boundary army attack to reverse to the eastern boundary of church thoroughly. 这是准备让他成为皇室手中的一把利剑,率领北境大军进攻早已彻底倒向教会的东境啊。 Colin fell into silent. 柯林陷入了沉默。 Actually he does not want to mix fighting for power and profit between this imperial family and church. 其实他并不想掺和这场皇室和教会之间的争权夺利。 He does not have the malice to the church, does not have many meanings of giving loyalty to the imperial family. 他对教会没有恶感,对皇室也没有多少效忠之意。 Wish makes him the foot soldier attendant of attack, Colin will not easily be swindled. 想要让他成为进攻的马前卒,柯林可不会轻易上当。 Only if, profitable...... 除非,有利可图…… „I understood.” Colin sprinkles however smiles, sets out saying that „thanked you to help me explain many doubts, the situation in brilliance empire to me, no longer covers in the middle of dense fog now finally.” “我明白了。”柯林洒然一笑,起身道,“感谢你帮我解答了许多的疑惑,光辉帝国的局势现在对我来说,总算不再笼罩在一片迷雾当中了。” „This is my being honored!” “这是我的荣幸！” „Ok, I must go back to rest. Understands that must accompany Vera to go to Upper House.” “好了,我要回去休息了。明白还要陪薇拉去元老院。” „Good, viscount Sir, I delivers you.” “好的,子爵大人,我送您。” scholar Dawn delivers to the entrance Colin, just waved goodbye, actually sees Colin to turn head suddenly, asked with a smile: 道恩学士将柯林一路送到大门口,刚挥手告别,却见柯林突然回过头来,笑着问道: „Dawn, actually you give loyalty to the northern boundary, gives loyalty to the imperial family?” “道恩,你究竟是效忠北境,还是效忠皇室？” scholar Dawn gawked staring, looked at Colin one eyes, then a face replied seriously: 道恩学士愣了愣,看了柯林一眼,然后一脸郑重地答道: „I give loyalty to the brilliance empire!” “我效忠光辉帝国！” Some Colin accidents/surprises looked at scholar Dawn, then as if understood anything, but has not actually commented, but smiles, turned around to leave. 柯林有些意外地看了道恩学士一眼,然后似乎明白了什么,但却没有对此作出评论,只是笑了笑,就转身离开了。
